End Of Negotiations

Ptolomy was more than double the age of Hellma, thirty-two as compared to the princess's fourteen and just a year younger than the queen mother who was thirty-three.

And him being in love with his half-sister and adoptive mother was a secret only to him.

To the rest of the women around him, it was plain as day.

That's why Nanazin had so quickly jumped to defend Ptolomy when Alexander asked him why he chose to save Hellma and not his daughter, in an attempt to keep this shameful secret hidden.

Seeing there was no point in hiding it, Ptolomy stated to Alexander, "Yes, you are right. I'm in love with Hellma and Seelima. And I only married Nanazin because of political reasons"

"And one of the reasons why I fought for the throne was to be able to marry them which normally I couldn't. So, you see, me exchanging them for the crown makes no sense. Without them, the throne is meaningless." Ptolomy revealed his mindset.

Alexander didn't mind Ptolomy loving the queen mother.
